I’ve bumped into this website today by accident looking for a Green Card apartment photos and I’m amazed!Always when I see such a blog – fashion or design – the first thing I’m looking for is some pics of the blogger him/herself. I don’t like people who only “preach” about the rightest and coolest design and never show their own style! I have to say I love your house and I appreciate you’ve posted even personal pics from your own home – thank you!
Thanks, Adela! Nice to hear from a new reader.
I was looking for photos of the Mr and Mrs Smith house on google and I clicked on a website and it took me here, I saw at the top the tv/movie button so I clicked it and thought I was in heaven! I clicked on a few movies I had heard about and love what you do!
I love your house, you decorate so beautifully, Thank you for sharing your home! I read your one word description post and thought that was fun!
This is my favorite website now!
Always love hearing from other people who love the TV and movie houses as much as I do! Nice to see you here, Sam. Thanks for taking the time to say hello!
No problem
P.s.
the Mr and Mrs Smith post is great! You do such great jobs on all of the tv/movie posts!
You have made me hooked on houses! Thank you for that, I love it! Haha
Hi Julia,
I just wanted to thank you for such an informative and welcoming website. With all the hate and negativity one encounters on the net, it’s wonderful to come to a place where people are of like mind and share without fear of backlash or rudeness. I find myself gravitating here when I need a little boost in my day or evening. I love that you have let us into your world by sharing photos of your own lovely home.
Thanks, Alie! Your sweet comment just made my day.
Your home is beautiful, and I look forward to visiting you more often.
Thanks for showing that everything does not have to be high end to be pretty.
With kids and pets in our lives, that is the way we “real” people live.
Thanks, Bridget! I appreciate that.
Your house is gorgeous!
Thanks, Chris!
Your blog is one of my greatest pleasures. I spend hours on here and not feel the least bit guilty afterwards. I have become obsessed with the New York mansion featured in the movie Just Wright, starting Queen Latifah and a Common. The movie itself is a predictable romantic comedy but the NYC home of the character Scott MckNight has become an obsession of mine. Unfortunately, I cannot find any info on it on the web. Have you seen the movie? Would love to hear your thoughts on this house that I cannot get out of my head? Hope all is well.
Thanks, Snev! I don’t know anything about “Just Wright.” I looked it up on IMDb.com and all it says is that it was filmed in New Jersey. Sorry I can’t help with that!
HI!
Actually I too LOVE the mansion from the movie Just Wright; however, it was to appear that the movie was set in Jersey, but was actually filmed in NYC. If that helps, like the previous reader, I would love to know more about this home.
Many thanks,
Dawn
Nice site.. like the movie houses.. Have you ever come across the gorgeous brownstone in the movie “End of Days” with Arnold Schwarzenegger.. It was Christine York’s home in the movie – I know sounds a bit out there.. but the interior of the brownstone was definitely something to admire.. cozy and elegant..
Your blog gives me such happy times Julia. Being disabled I spend a lot of time on here. You are my guilty pleasure.
Thanks so much.

Thanks, Chrissie! I appreciate that!
Wow! I Googled the house from The Family Stone last night, after watching it for the 2nd time, thinking I wouldn’t find anything on it and, voila! There you were! I just watched Step Mother the other day, as well, and was in love with that house (linked off of Family Stone house). I also adore the house from Something’s Gotta Give. Funny to see someone else who thinks like I do. These houses are always in my head. I will have to check out the others to see if they’ve affected me, as well, and I just forgot about it. Enjoying your website. Fun!
Julia,
You’re home is beautiful! Very nice comfy flow to it. I stumbled across your website after doing some research on the “Dan In Real Life” Jamestown, Rhode Island house, which I just simply adore! I’m addicted to the movie because of the house and the warm feeling it brings, like a loving, lazy, cozy, snuggely type of feeling. But, I can not seem to find anywhere what kind of style that home is. Might you know? I’d really like to find house plans that resemble this home’s style.
Thanks!

Wow! What a great site! I was actually looking for the town and the beachhouses they shot the series Revenge in and discovered it is not actually there
glad I discovered that now, we are planning to visit the the Hamptons some day and we do not have to go look for it! Great fun to have a peek in these great American houses, we do not have those kind of houses overe here. Thanks, keep up the good work, I love it! Warm regards from the Netherlands, Saskia
Nice to hear from a reader in the Netherlands! Thanks, Saskia!
Oh my goodness….I found you!! I stumbled upon your site, I can’t recall how long ago – a few years back. I remember saying aloud, “My people! I have found my people! I’m NOT the only crazy like this.”. I spent hours perusing your treasure chest of a site. Before I realized it was too late, one link lead to another and off you went into the ether. I hadn’t even taken time to bookmark or remember the site name. Fast forward a year or so and I find you again. Hooray!! Then Boo! – I did the same stinkin’ thing again. Grrr. But today, I don’t know how I got here (the one link leading to another thing…) one click and you’re back. You’re also bookmarked now. There are imitators out there, but they ‘re not here…and here is GOOD.
Ha! I love it. I do that all the time and try to retrace my steps to figure out where a certain site was that I liked but can no longer remember the name of. So glad to see you made it back here again. Thanks for your kind comments, too–you made my morning!
I am such a fan of this blog. It was my jumping off point to so many others. Thank you for the inspiration!
I came across your blog via a google search, and I love it! I’m also a house-lover, and find that I can’t get enough decorating ideas, open houses, floor plans, and anything else home-related. Luckily my husband is a broker so I can look at houses as a looky-loo without driving a realtor crazy
. Thanks for the inspiration, I have a feeling I’ll be visiting again!
Nice to hear from a kindred spirit, Hannah! Thanks for stopping by!
I love this website as I am truly Hooked on Houses! I love my home and have always loved houses. I am thinking of repainting my living room walls and am considering a soft, glowing yellow. I noticed your living room walls are a great shade of yellow. Do you know the color name/brand? Thanks for this website, it’s so much fun to peek into other people’s homes!!
Thanks, Peggy! The walls are actually a tan color called “Pecan” by Eddie Bauer (I got it at Lowe’s). I actually intended to paint it yellow and went through 3 or 4 shades without finding the right one. Gave up and went with this instead!
Good luck with yours!
Noticed these guys use some of what appears to be your content on their commercial page. (Incorrectly, in fact) Coincidentally, their ad pops up on your page, sometimes. That’s good, I guess? Anyway, just thought you’d like to know.

That’s interesting. I hadn’t seen that site before (or the ads for it). Thanks, Shawn!
Julia;
Not or he first time have I said this but your house is so awesome and “homey” I just looked at ths year’s diningroom pictures and it is stunning!!!
It is nce to know hat others can make their home look as beautiful as yours on an Ikea and Target budget.
Thank-you

I love what you’ve done to your house.
Just found your website
I accidentally came across your website looking for something else. I just love your home. Thanks for sharing it. I too love daisies (they were on my bridal gown, veil and my flowers). I continue to like daisies to this day. Someone told me years ago that daisies were “me”. And my first cookie jar was a strawberry, but unfortunately it broke because of moving so many times. At one time I actually had a strawberry themed kitchen. I’m so glad there are other people out there like me. Even when I was a small child, I loved to look at home plans and my mothers Better Homes and Gardens. I love your sunroom. I had thought about removing a deck and replacing it with a sunroom…less maintenance?
Love your blog. Please sign me up to receive new posts.
Found your fascinating blog while looking for info on ‘that little black dress’ in ‘Something’s Gotta Give’. No success with the dress but finding the house on Hooked on Houses was far more satisfying. Scored 100% on the quiz. So pleased to find someone else like me all the way over there in Ohio. Could this possibly be your first comment from Africa?
I have a few readers from Africa, but not many. So nice to hear from you, Jacqui!
Do you know where I can get an etagere like the one in Olivia Pope’s living room? I’ve looked everywhere!
Sorry. No idea!
I love your website. Took the quiz and said yes to almost every question!!!
I just had my kitchen and bath remodeled. They did a great job in bath with the tile on the floor. It was beige. My kitchen tile was same color, bit different tile. But on the backsplash and the floor, they used brown grout. We had the same problems. I have been sick so we have not gotten to it. But I feel like they should have had to fix it and he would not come back to do it. I was really annoyed as well as sad. But I guess he is not the only one. My dad owned a home store with carpet and tile, paint and wallpaper. My mom was a designer so they worked all sorts ot miracles. He would never have left a mess like that. Grrr.
At any rate, love your home and your blog.
See you again soon!
Debbie G
I feel for you! It’s so disappointing when something like that happens.
Nice to hear from you Debbie–thanks!
Like to see the Jumanji house. Also Meet Joe Black, Downton Abbey, and the Munsters 1313 Mockingbird lane.
Thanks
I have featured Downton Abbey. You can find the link to it and all the other movie and TV houses I’ve written about here:

Where is the kitchen??
I’ve never featured it. I like my kitchen but I’ve never felt it was really “blog worthy.” Ha. Maybe someday!
I LOVE this site! I could spend hours here…
I’ve watched many of these movies repeatedly all because of the house! I’m devastated that the house in It’s Complicated is so expensive lol. Thank you for taking the time to bring this site to us!
Joi

Would love to see a picture of Designer Hilary Farr’s Home in Toronto, Ontario, Canada Thank you
So would I!
I would love to see pictures of Candace Olsen’s house of Divine Design. I believe she lives in Canada.
Your home and your website are wonderful; thanks for sharing all your hard work with so many of us who love architecture and have often found the sets in many productions to be among the most important characters. Two I have been unable to find anything about are the wonderful Art-Nouveau mansion from “Casper” and the setting (and one redeeming quality) of a 1999 film called “The Haunting” with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
I just yesterday became addicted to your website. My husband and I are currently looking for our dreamhouse on a small budget and in an effort to manifest what I was looking for I wanted to look at specific houses from movies that I love. Your website did that for me. Also, today, I finally looked at the pictures of your home. It is like a dream. Very beautiful. Thank you for your fun, up-beat and informative website. I’m a forever fan!
